Class Of Service

Class DSN: Telephones authorized for transaction of official government business. This service provides access to the DSN network. This class of service can be tailored to meet subscriber/circuit requirements (CONUS only/World-Wide access).

Class "A" (Official): Telephones authorized for the transaction of official government business. This class of service provides connectivity to the commercial telephone system. This class of service can be tailored to meet subscriber/circuit requirements (Long Distance Restricted/Long Distance/Long Distance + International Access) on a case-by-case basis. The acceptance of collect telephone calls is NOT authorized.

Class "A" Restricted (Official): Telephones authorized for the transaction of official government business. This class of service provides connectivity to the commercial telephone system and allows local area and 800 dialing only. Acceptance of collect calls is not authorized.

Class DSN and "A" Telephone Allocation:

a. Due to the limited amount of DSN and commercial trunking, it is necessary to carefully manage the amount of access provided to Class DSN and Class A telephone service at Camp Lejeune. If an excessive number of users are granted access, the level of service for all will be degraded and result in users frequently encountering a "trunk busy" signal when attempting to use DSN, commercial long distance service, or restricted local area dialing service. No more than 40% of the numbers in any one billing account code will have DSN access unless specifically authorized.

b. All Base and tenant organizations should limit the number of telephones with Class DSN/A service to that which is mission essential. The Assistant Chief of Staff, G-6, MCIEAST, will coordinate periodic reviews of Class DSN/A access with the G-6/S-6 personnel of all organizations at Camp Lejeune to ensure the optimum level of service is provided.

Class "B" (Unofficial): Telephones provided for unofficial use may or may not have access to the local commercial telephone system. Charges are paid from non-appropriated funds or by individual subscribers. The acceptance of collect telephone calls is NOT authorized. This class of service includes:

(1) Class B-1: Telephones installed in government-owned or leased quarters for use by the designated occupant. Access to the commercial system is authorized.

(2) Class B-2: Telephones installed for use of the American Red Cross and other Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) activities and commercial concerns authorized to conduct business from a fixed location on the Base as provided in references (e) and (f). This class of service may be restricted to the Base or have access to the commercial telephone system. The authority for commercial concerns must be a contract or permit issued by the Commanding Officer, MCB, Camp Lejeune.

Class "C" (Official Restricted): Telephones installed for the transaction of official government business, but are restricted to the Base. Users cannot make long distance telephone calls on Class "C" telephones. Collect telephone calls are NOT authorized and are blocked.
